A girl at a camp I went to was named Taya Francoise (pronounced TIE-a, as in tie a bow). When I asked her where it was from, she said "I don't know. Mom, what's my name again?" and her mother said immediately, "Welsh. Gaelic." And her mother projected a very learned air, so I didn't question this. Still, I thought that was interesting and made a mental note to look it up when I got home. And I did, and it isn't here.

Is there any truth to Taya's mother's claim, or did she just get impressed by an unreliable baby name book? Thanks.
